About me:
I'm female, born in 1955, and live in the U.S.
I have a degree in English and History from Duke University.
Among other things, I have been a professional editor for over 17 years, in New York City (1985–1992) and in San Francisco (1992–2001). Editing in all fields: journalism, nonfiction, textbooks, medical, legal, fact-checking, copyediting, proofreading, etc.
I started editing Wikipedia in mid 2006, and created an account in early 2007.
Invaluable resources for researchers:
On those sites you can find any book, and at the very cheapest prices.

To reply, this is how it should go:
Original post "What cars do you like?"
- First reply "I like Volkswagens!"
- Reply #1 to first reply "I think Volkswagens are stupid.."
- Reply to reply #1 to first reply "No, they're great!"
- Reply #2 to first reply "Me too!"
- Second reply "I like Hyundai!"
- Reply #1 to second reply "I think Hyundai cars break down easy"
- Reply number three "I like Honda!"
- Reply number four "I like Saab"
Of course those would all use ~~~~ after them to sign
